Apple Revokes EU Distribution Rights for an App on the Alt Store

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-01 15:15:54

Under EU law, Apple is required to give its users more freedom to install apps that are not listed in the official App Store. This allows for easier access to software that's typically prohibited by Apple, including the popular iTorrent BitTorrent client. The iTorrent client built a steady user base over the past year, but that came to an abrupt end when Apple decided to revoke the developer's alternative distribution rights. Historically, Apple has banned torrent clients from its iOS devices.

Introduction The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes, and automated decision-making systems has made it increasingly difficult for people to tell whether they are communicating with another human being, an AI, or a blend of both. This poses serious questions about trust, security, and social cohesion, especially in high-impact domains like healthcare, finance, and media.

The first stars may not have been as uniformly massive as we thought

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-01 20:16:33

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of stars to form the first planets. The first stars were initially composed of pure hydrogen and helium, and they were massive—hundreds to thousands of times the mass of the Sun and millions of times more luminous. Their short lives ended in enormous explosions called supernovae, so they had neither the

Slowing down programs is surprisingly useful

Most research on programming language performance asks a variation of a single question: how can we make some specific program faster? Sometimes we may even investigate how we can use less memory. This means a lot of research focuses solely on reducing the amount of resources needed to achieve some computational goal. So, why on earth might we be interested in slowing down programs then?
